One of the few threads that's got me thinking for a few days.
I don't know your age, your home/social life or tolerance levels.
I'm now 62 and time is of the essence for me. Homie don't have time to F around with beginners or half-assed muscians who don't realize they are not that good or you have to put in a lot of work to be good. I do enjoy the commraderie of others, and when it comes to music, they have to be good too. Otherwise you are just fighting the dumbing down.
If I was younger, with lots of time on my hands, I most certainly would be more tolerant and give things a shot. I don't see anything really negative, but this opportunity may open other opportunities.
I would say give the band some more time and then set a time goal for yourself. You and the band need to get to X degree of improvement by Y time.
I would also say, don't have them put you on the website. I've seen plenty of bands sites do this. You can be their hired gun.
Also, you have nothing to loose if you go in with some objective criticism. Ya never know, they might appreciate the honesty... or cut you loose. But what do you have to loose either way.
I just couldn't imagine not speaking up, when something is obviously (to me) wrong.
